Nun’S Puffs Recipes

We love how Nun’s Puffs combine simplicity and charm. Legend says these airy pastries originated in convent kitchens centuries ago. The name might sound unusual but the taste is unforgettable. Our favorite part is that we only need a few basic ingredients to make a batch

Ingredients

We measure each item precisely before we begin. We keep our butter and milk at room temperature to ensure a smooth blend. We sift our flour for an extra light texture in our Nun’s Puffs.

Ingredient Amount Prep
Whole milk 1 cup Room temperature
Unsalted butter ½ cup Cubed
All-purpose flour ¾ cup Sifted
Large eggs 4 Room temperature
Granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
Salt ¼ teaspoon

We place the milk and butter in a saucepan to melt together over medium heat. We keep the sugar and salt ready on the side. Once our wet mixture bubbles, we stir in the flour. Then we incorporate the eggs one at a time to create our glossy dough.
